Wikipedia is easily abused
by auggie999

Wikipedia is a terrible source of information because it's so easy for users to abuse the system.

Animal rights activists have banned together to use Wikipedia to push their own agenda. Here's evidence of top administrator Slimvirgin flat out encouraging other users to abuse the system:

Quote: If you don't already help out at Wikipedia that's a great place to meet up. We have controlled animal rights articles there for several years, but the project is always expanding and we always need people to make sure new peripheral articles are slanted our way.

If you come over, just start commenting on any animal rights article and we will gladly recognize an ally. Branch out, contribute to a few unrelated topics, make a few spelling corrections, participate in the community discussions and when you have 1,000 edits or more, one of us will nominate you for administrator. That's where the real fun starts. We routinely block anyone who could pose a serious challenge to our control of animal rights articles. Once you're an admin, we'll sign you onto our list and give you the inside scoop on our latest campaigns.

Wikipedia -- we own it!!!

It's obvious from Slimvirgin's edit history that he/she has an interest in animal rights issues, but it's really mind blowing to have the agenda behind it spelled out. Talk about a conflict of interest...
